LOG ANALYSIS IN CARBONATES

Roger L. Nutt                                                                                                      5 days

Who should attend:

Petrophysicists, Geologists, Geophysicists, Petroleum Engineers, Technicians and Managers working with Carbonate reservoirs. Attendees should be familiar with the principles of open-hole log interpretation.

About this course:

Carbonates present unique problems in log interpretation. Petrophysical parameters in carbonates may vary dramatically within a few inches Ð or they can be quite uniform over great distances, vertically and horizontally.

This course is the one which experienced petrophysicists wish they could have taken early in their careers. Participants will be intrigued to find how some of their most cherished beliefs about log analysis need modification Ð and how the most complex and intractable of problems can sometimes have a very simple solution. All petrophysical analysis is a statistical exercise; the key to successful analysis is a thorough understanding of all the available data and how it is obtained, and careful integration of all the information into a cohesive and self-consistent model. This process, and the accompanying essential technical knowledge, are the subjects of this course.
